NAACP presents crime talk

Fairfield police Chief Walt Tibbet is set to speak about the department's crime prevention, intervention and suppression efforts and how citizens can partner with the city to help.

The meeting is set for 11 a.m. to noon at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, in the Fellowship Hall, 1735 Enterprise Drive, in Fairfield.

"Crime and what can be done about it has become a big issue in Fairfield," said NAACP Branch President Frederick B. Young Jr. in a press statement. "We are very pleased to have Chief Tibbet come to give us the latest information; and we hope to start a conversation on how the community can participate in finding solutions to the issue."
